Norway won a World Cup knockout match for the first time, beating Ivory Coast 2-1 in the round of 16, with Erling Haaland scoring the decisive goal in the 86th minute. Haaland has scored five times and is in contention for the tournament’s Golden Boot.
Below are the details on how to watch.
How to watch Brazil vs Norway
Brazil vs Norway Preview
Erling Haaland attacking the space behind Brazil’s backline is the only battle that can break this match. Brazil has controlled games for most of this tournament, and ball security is a big reason why. They averaged 56.3 minutes of possession per game and have only allowed 2 goals in 4 games. Against Japan, however, Brazil looked vulnerable when the game was turning and the runners were attacking quickly, and that’s exactly the kind of moment Haaland lives on.
Norway don’t need long spells with the ball to make it dangerous. Haaland already has 5 goals and Norway have just shown against Ivory Coast that they can survive pressure while landing the decisive blow late on. Brazil want to push Norway back, while Norway will expect a direct pass, a channel pass and a clean finish from their striker.
If Brazil loses the ball in central areas or leaves their line exposed, this match appears immediately.
Player to watch
While Brazil has plenty of ways to beat its opponents, Norway is much more limited. Fortunately for the Vikings, their main weapon, Haaland, is one of the best forwards of his generation. If he can find openings in the Brazilian defense, it could be enough to cause an upset. He will certainly be the most consistent player in this match.
